Mothers Day Gifts


I knew that I wanted to make our Mother's Day Gifts this year, but I just didn't know what to make. It had to be something simple and versatile as the gift would go to three very different mothers in our lives--my own Mama, my Aunt Donna, and Brian's mom. In the end, I decided to sew up some handkerchiefs from my new favorite book, Linen, Cotton, Wool. I embroidered the first letter of each of their names on the kerchiefs, had the kids paint the cards, and added some dried lavender for effect. The embroidery isn't perfect as I am new to that sport (and neither is the sewing for that matter), but hopefully they will be loved nonetheless.

Why didn't I know this was you?! I guess it's the OR thing that threw me off. I totally forgot you guys moved since you are moving again, right? Please disregard previous comment in which I expressed my pleasure to meet you. I think I am well acquainted with my son's GOD MOTHER!
